I am reformatting my hard drive with Windows XP Pro SP2 and when I go to install windows it will not let me delete the old partition. I dod not want to go through the hassle of having two OS so what do i do?
 
"Windows is unable to perform the requested operation on the selected partition. This partition contains temporary setup files that are required to complete the setup process."

This is what I get when I try to delete the selected partition to reinstall.
 
Wierd, sorry im lost, never heard of this before. its wierd how the hd isant being used yet and it says it needs files. Put it in a pc as slave and format from there?
